On Monday, Henderson attempted to clear the air in an interview with Denver weekly Westword.

"I was having an innocent direct Twitter conversation with a reader before the Opening Ceremonies, and she just said a couple things that got me excited," Henderson told Westword. "Somehow, someway, I sent a response to my general Twitter account and not to her directly."

While Henderson may be the most high-profile Twitter user to announce his "excitement" during the summer games, he's certainly not the only one to get hot and bothered during events. Since the Olympics have started, the words "horny" and "Olympics" have been tweeted about 1,000 times, according to statistics from Topsy, a social media search engine.
